Row Row Row Your Boat
Row row row your boat,
Gently down the stream,
Merrily merrily merrily merrily,
Life is such a dream.

Row row row your boat,
Gently down the stream,
If you see a crocodile,
Don’t forget to scream!

Five Jellyfish
Five jellyfish, five jellyfish, (hold up five fingers)
Five jellyfish sitting on a rock.

One jumps off! (fold one finger down)

Four jellyfish, four jellyfish… (hold up four fingers)

No jellyfish,  no jellyfish,
No jellyfish sitting on a rock. (hold up one finger)
One jumped up! Hooray!

Once I Caught a Fish Alive
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, (raise one finger at a time until all five fingers on one hand are raised)
Once I caught a fish alive,
6, 7, 8, 9, 10, (raise fingers on your second hand one at a time)
Then I let him go again.
Why did you let him go?
Because he bit my finger so.
Which finger did he bite?
This little finger on my right. (wriggle right pinky finger)

I’m a Little Fish
(sung to the tune of I’m a Little Teapot)
I’m a little fish o, Watch me swim
Here is my tail,
And here is my fin.
When I want to have fun,
With my friends,
I swish my tail and dive right in.

The Waves in the Sea
(sung to the tune of The Wheels on the Bus)
The waves in the sea go,
Up and down, (make a rolling wave by moving one hand up and down)
Up and down,
Up and down,
The waves in the sea go,

Up and down,
All day long.

The sharks in the sea go,
Snap, snap, snap… (hold two hands together, joined at the wrist, to form a mouth, snap open and shut)

The fish in the sea go,
Swish, swish, swish… (swim hands around as fish)

The crabs in the sea go
Click, click, click… (click fingers)

Fish Are Swimming
(sung to the tune of Frere Jacques)
Fish are swimming,
Fish are swimming,
In the sea, in the sea
Splishing and splashing
Splishing and splashing,
Look and see, look and see.

The sharks in the sea go,
Snap, snap, snap… (hold two hands together, joined at the wrist, to form a mouth, snap open and shut)

The fish in the sea go,
Swish, swish, swish… (swim hands around as fish)

The crabs in the sea go
Click, click, click… (click fingers)

Fish Are Swimming
(sung to the tune of Frere Jacques)
Fish are swimming,
Fish are swimming,
In the sea, in the sea
Splishing and splashing
Splishing and splashing,
Look and see, look and see.

Five Cheeky Fish
(sung to the tune of Five Cheeky Monkeys)
Five cheeky fishes, (hold up five fingers, swim hand from side to side)
Swimming in the sea,
Teasing Mr Shark,
‘You can’t catch me-e,
You can’t catch me-e.’
Along comes Mr Shark (form shark with second hand)
As quiet as can be and
SNAP! (clap hands together)
